Hailed as one of the "most important bands in music since the dawn of the rock and roll era" by former President Bill Clinton, the legendary rock and roll band with horns, Chicago, came in at #9, the highest charting American band in Billboard Magazine's recent Hot 200 All-Time Top Artists. And Chicago is the first American rock band to chart Top 40 albums in six consecutive decades. Chicago was inducted into the 2016 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, their first nomination though they’ve been eligible since 1994 – a long time coming! Chicago's album, Chicago Transit Authority, was inducted into the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame in 2014, and the band performed on the Grammy stage for the first time that year.
This June 2017, Chicago's Robert Lamm and James Pankow will become the latest inductees of the Songwriters Hall of Fame at the organization's 48th Annual Induction and Awards Dinner in New York. These legendary songwriters wrote mega-hits such as, "25 or 6 to 4," "Saturday In The Park," "Feelin' Stronger Every Day," "Make Me Smile," and many others. The band’s new documentary film, “Now More Than Ever: The History Of Chicago,” premiered at the Sedona International Film Festival in 2016, and won the Film Festival’s Best of Fest Audience Choice Award. The band opened the festival with back-to-back sold-out performances.
